Synopsis:

These texts represent Islamic power and wealth in scenes of piracy on the high seas, on-stage execution by strangulation, and rites of religious conversion. The plays are set in historical and cultural context by Daniel J. Vitkus's clear and thoughtful introduction. These carefully edited, annotated, modern-spelling editions are particularly valuable for understanding the cultural production of English identity in relation to the Islamic Other.

About the Author: Daniel J. Vitkus is assistant professor of English at Florida Institute of Technology. From 1991 to 1997 he was assistant professor of English at the American University in Cairo, Egypt.
